Thread: Unknown maker "Lancet Steel".

Thanks.
I suspect that the razor was made in Sheffield. It's very well made, very good craftmanship.
What suprised me was the fact that original horn scales were pinned with no washers, like ivory scales. I've never seen it before.

I have a few turn of the century horn scales that were pinned with no washers. Some of the French ones look like flat polished plastic.
After about the 1880's when the grinding machine was patented for that type of blade, many scales were often pinned with no washer.
SWAG: is that the quality of horn was such that it would hold with pin only. Black water-buffalo horn was imported from colonies in Asia and was stronger / less prone to delamination than the dyed cattle horn used before.
You did a very nice job on them!

I just love this grind, I must now put this on my "I want" list.

Hi.
There's an auction on ebay with very similar razor. Same grind, slightly different etching - Diamond Edge. It was made by Abraham Leon of Sheffield.
